Figure 76. Format track data field format

This indicates the head number of the track to be formatted. (L = 0)
In LBA mode this register specifies that LBA address bits 24–27 are to be
formatted. (L = 1)
In LBA mode this register specifies the current LBA address bits as 0–7 (L = 1).
In LBA mode this register specifies the current LBA address bits as 8–15 (Low)
and bits 16–23 (High).
In LBA mode this register specifies the current LBA address bits as 24–27 (L = 1).
This indicates the Error Register. An Abort error (ABT = 1) will be returned under
the following conditions:
! The descriptor value does not match the certain value (except 00h).
In LBA mode this command formats a single logical track including the specified
LBA.
This indicates the sector of data will be initialized to 00h.
